Recommendation - Derbyshire Constabulary, October 2020

A number of officers carried out a search of domestic premises during which a man was restrained. Four officers were equipped with body worn video (BWV) but each of them turned off their equipment at various stages of the search. At a later point the man who had been restrained became unwell. Officers provided first aid and an ambulance attended. The man was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. Because the officers had turned off their BWV there was no footage of the man becoming unwell or the attempts to provide first aid.
